Chemical Songs

by Chad Heiny

Chad Heiny’s Chemical Songs is a welcome addition to the solo keyboard repertoire for young players. This collection is comprised of eight engaging two-mallet solos. Each solo in the collection will fit on a standard size marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, and some even on a glockenspiel.

If performing all eight solos, instrumentation can be customized to help bring character and nuance out of each solo. Written for easy-to-medium skill levels, these solos also come with optional audio accompaniment tracks (created by Evan Brown) that underscore the title and thematic material of each piece.

Included in this collection:

• Clean Slate (Easy, 1:00)
• Sharp Edges (Easy, 1:30)
• Rattle (Med-Easy, 2:00)
• Unlocked (Med-Easy, 1:35)
• Clearly (Medium, 2:00)
• Caverns (Medium, 1:45)
• Friendly Banter (Medium, 0:50)
• a Heartsong (Med-Easy, 2:30)

Chemical Songs ships as a fully-bound book with a sleek cover design by fellow Tapspace artist, Jesse Mattson. It also ships with a CD containing the optional audio accompaniment tracks.
